IRSC 2026 will take place November 3-5 in Detroit.

The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) will host the 2026 International Robot Safety Conference (IRSC) November 3-5 at Huntington Place in Detroit.

The association said the conference brings together engineers, safety professionals, manufacturers, and system integrators to examine robot safety standards and their workplace application.

A3 said that hosting the event in Detroit provides attendees with a direct connection to a region full of manufacturers and suppliers putting industrial automation to work.

Safety experts scheduled to lead IRSC 2026 sessions

The Association said that sessions will address how the newly updated global robot standard, R.1506-2025, will impact established robot installations as well as collaborative applications, mobile robots and emerging technologies.

Conference speakers include experts from:

The full IRSC 2026 agenda is available here.

“Robot safety requirements have to translate into decisions people can make on the plant floor,” said Carole Franklin, A3’s director of standards development, robotics. “IRSC gives attendees a chance to work through those questions directly with the experts who develop and apply the standards.”

A3 said that IRSC offers full and partial conference registration options. Registration includes access to conference sessions on selected days, tabletop exhibits and a networking reception. Certificates of attendance with CEU credits are available upon request.
